To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, GwuNnoLiN \VinT- TINGHAM, a citizen of thellnited States, residing at Saratoga, in the county of Santa Clara and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cornbination-Garments, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a combination garment.

One of the objects of the present invontion isto' provide a garment suitable for girls between the ages of two and twelve, constructed to form a one-piece garment comprising a combination dress and bloomers which are arranged to permit perfect freedom al'u'l w-ill be suitable both for dress occasions and play. Another object of the invention is to provide a sectional belt for holding up thebloomers and to give finish to the whole garment; the two ends of the belt being secured to a flap forming apart of the bloomers, while the opposite ends are passed through openings formed between the under arm seams to permit fastening around the waist exteriorly of the garment. Another object of theinvention is to provide a novel form of pocket construction which will hereinafter be more fully described.

The invention consists-of the parts and the construction and con'ibination of parts as hereinafter more fully described and claimed, having reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a. front view of the garment. I Fig. 2 is a rear view of same.

Fig. 3 is another rear view, showing the gaunent partly opened.

The two front sections ardsecured together by a front seam 16 and the two back sections by the back seam 1?. Th i back sections are then secured t the in-seams 18 and the side s sideseams are, howeveiyrrunfio up or to the point indicated at upper end of theseparation 13"to;prtnit the formation of a flap which is norfriiallly held in position by means of a belt [Pile front sections 14 of the bloomersnas 'ire'viously described, are secured tog'ethe a front seam l6 and they are also. see t-o the front sections of the garment prr riorly thereof by means of a seam;

The belt is made of two sect" h s, ends of which are attached to the flap section of the bloomers, as at 23, X ends are passed through openings 24. between the under-arm seams to permit fas tening exteriorly of the garment by b 25 or any other suitable means.

The garment as a whole is out ,for-ailoose fit and the weight is the shoulders. The bloomers do away with the needless petticoats and as the rmderarrn' caving said kets slits sli own in sectionskl, ci t ffrom the s only,

are slit in one 1 he inter;

supportedentirely from while.theiouter.

armed li -tons front and a one piece with the sine iroin the hem snowing perfect seems carried around the pocket sections, indicated 11, 12 and 13 it can be seen that the dress section will he opened on each up to the pockets, thus freedom of action. The front and hook sections may be out long or short to extend shove or below the biooiners and the dress and bloomers may be trimmed with a contrasting material to give any ortisticeffect desired v The opening oi the garment from the hem to the neck in ouch, and the buttons provided permit the garment to be easily gotten into or removed and also permit it to he washed and ironed. The slits 13 perniit freedom of movement of the l gs of the wearer with the dress buttoned up and fittin properly. As the i'isp of the btooniers is above the slits 13 notl'iing but the bloomers may be seen through said siits. The gsrnient may be made of any suitable materiel either light or heavy Weight and 1' wish it understood that minor changes in the construction and design may be made such the experience and judgment of the menuiecturer may dictate.
